Sustainable Caspar action moving ahead

Caspar residents are moving forward with the Sustainable Caspar process that began at a coast-wide gathering in February to identify the challenges and paths around achieving our Caspar vision. Emergency preparedness, water availability, food security and other concerns will all be on the agenda.

Initially, neighborhood-wide gatherings will have brought people together in small groups to talk about very local and Caspar-wide concerns.

This is an opportunity to give Caspar residents an equal voice in finding actions that make Caspar more robust, resilient and adaptable while also looking for activities that are enjoyable and inspiring.

They are also an opportunity to get together with neighbors, to meet some new people, and to talk about what's going on in your neighborhood in an environment that welcomes all ideas.

Gathering Sunday

Then, this Sunday, July 13, at 1 p.m., residents and friends of Caspar will gather at the Caspar Community Center. This potluck meeting is open to everyone who cares about Caspar.

We will develop an agenda in 10 minutes and everyone will develop any idea they wish with whomever else is drawn to it.

Any project that is ready to move forward will be provided with a clear step-by-step guide to do that. Challenging projects that might be characterized as "hitting it out of the park" will be discussed, and what might be gained from taking on a big challenge will be explored. Each conversation will generate notes that will be collated into a newsletter so that everyone can see what everyone else talked about. People may join projects they find out about in that newsletter.
